A Virginia man was jailed in Jefferson County Monday after a sheriff's deputy located bundles of heroin worth a quarter of a million dollars, according to information from the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department.

The driver of the GMC SUV was stopped on Interstate 10 and appeared to act nervous when he told the deputy he was headed to Houston to visit an 86-year-old friend in the hospital, the department reports. Once the driver said he was headed to Texas Children's Hospital, the deputy asked for consent to search the vehicle.

A bag in the back seat contained three bundles wrapped in duct tape and appearing to hold $250,000 worth of heroin.

Ronald Clifton Brown, 64, was charged with possession of a controlled substance and jailed on a $100,000 bond.
